Translate a Rejection from a Potential Romantic Partner into Useful Information

Someone you were keen on said no, and the story you have wrapped around it is getting cruel. This separates what actually happened from the meaning you have piled on top, then sorts what the rejection says about fit from what it says about you, which is usually far less. Suits anyone trying to learn from a knock without turning it on themselves.
